Re: It Arrived! quote: "Charles doesn't post much over here anymore but he always seemed like a very ethical and honest person."     Agree, I've done lots of business with him and hold in in very high regard. It's too bad he doesn't wander this way anymore. Charles was a valuable asset to this board.     quote: "To accurately set the bias you should know the B+ voltage going to the plates. To measure this without pulling the chassis (the whole point of getting the probe) would there be any problem in pulling all of the output tubes and just measuring the voltage at pin #3 for a 6L6-style tube?"     I don't think you'd get a proper voltage reading without the load of the power tubes. Maybe in a 100w you could pull two of the tubes and get a reading that would be pretty close. But isn't the voltage in a amp without the tubes much higher than normal?     bw
